First is that the "food is running out" part of the synopsis is somewhat misleading, as that doesn't ever really play a part in the story. The only part it is even mentioned that I can remember is the bit where Tau talks about how they "ran out of real food", and that's only because Omicron thought they were all dead rather than food in general was running low. Maybe there were other minor side stories I missed that talked about it too, but it's still a bit of a non-issue when the whole twist of the story is that just about everyone is either dead or a robot. (Though from reading the description on Steam, I realize this one isn't on you.)
I actually thought of removing that part when I was making the box, but I wanted to keep the description as intact as possible.

The other one is somewhat tied to the previous mention about not giving away the fact that the game takes place at the bottom of the ocean. Personally I don't think that is such a guarded secret that it needs to be kept off the box (the fact that the game takes place underwater is in the first sentence of the Steam page), but if you are going to hide that fact, leaving that bit of information in the synopsis kind of defeats the purpose of removing what was a nice shot of underwater scenery.
I actually have a reason for removing the image but keeping that part of the description; even if the player knows beforehand that the game takes place underwater, I think the beautiful underwater environments still surprise the player. That and it kinda ties into my point before of keeping the description as intact as possible.

Although I might put the underwater image back, because the image I replaced it with is just a generic, boring image from one of the sites.
Or maybe I could make a separate version for those who want the underwater image? Would only take a couple seconds.

Thank you! I tried to make the box look as Frictionally-made as possible, hopefully I successfully did that.
